Abstract:
This document outlines a method to mitigate Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks by using a well-known BGP community named "DOWNGRADE" as
signal to neighboring networks to treat traffic destined towards
"DOWNGRADE" tagged IP prefixes with low precedence. The "downgrade"
strategy offers an appealing alternative to Remote Triggered
Blackhole (RTBH) filtering, because RTBH filtering completes the DoS
attack and hampers the defender's ability to monitor whether the
attack is still ongoing.
